The Federal High Court sitting in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State has ruled that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) lacked power to investigate finances of the Governor Ayodele Fayose-led administration.
The court ruled that in federalism, the Federal Government is not an overseer or supervisor regarding finances of a State.
According to the court, only the State House of Assembly can probe finances of a State.
The court, therefore, restrained the EFCC from interfering in the running of Ekiti State by either investigating or arresting any official of the State Government.
